Cappie’s Scoop: This is another roller coaster hike! Just check out the pictures. Last time I hiked here, it was very green and mom was getting upset that I kept pulling over to eat the grass. I couldn’t help it. Again, look at the pictures. I wanted to roll around in the grass, eat it till I had a full belly and then take a nap in it. Maybe that’s why we haven’t gone back here yet … it took us a loooooong time to hike 6.5 miles. I promise I won’t stop to eat the grass too much if we go back mom! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: None
Directions: From I-5, exit Tustin Ranch Road and head towards the foothills. Drive approximately three miles. Get in the left hand lane and turn left on Pioneer Way. Get into the right lane and take the next right on Pioneer Road. This road will wind around Cedar Grove Park. Continue to the first stop sign and turn left on Peters Canyon Road. Take this road down around a little curve and park on the right side of the curb at the end of the road. There is a sign for Peter’s Canyon Trail at the end of the road. Pay attention to the “No Parking” signs, as tickets are issued frequently to those who park in that zone.
